Panther Or ?

[teisco]

Just picked up a bike,,,dated by serial number to be 1951 but not sure if it is a Panther or other model. Straight bar and here is a pick of the seat tube decal. Bike has been changed so much over the years so hard to tell what it was for sure.

Thanks,
paul

Hard to tell with your picture. Our viewing audience may need more pictures to give you an accurate answer.

I can post more pics but so much is changed as to make ID difficult. Right now has wrong wheels, tires, horn, fenders and maybe more. I want to start replacing repop and incorrect parts with good parts. Was hoping the tube decal would help.

Ok, here are all the pics I took today at the garage. I know there is a lot wrong, pinstriped but I think it should be two tone green and very light green or beige. And other things such as a missing chrome fork support rods.

Nice looking Frankster. That seat tube decal was never installed on a straight bar frame. Or before a 1955 model frame.
The fork is not Schwinny.

I'm thinking I would just leave as is and ride it.

Looks like Monark fork, nice color.

So we got a '51 Schwinn frame with a Monarch fork and a newer style seat tube decal. I was thinking of looking for a springer fork anyway and most likely will leave the decal as it's kinda cool.
